It's funny that Yuri is the reason to keep the Forger marriage, when every chapter he appears is to ask them to divorce.

Yor and Loid: We are married to the relief of Yuri Yuri: My soul will rest when you are divorced

So my friend is a massive twilight fan so we watched all the movies in one sitting. We started at 1:30pm and ended at 1:20 Am-ish.

Here are my notes.

1. Edward being read as neurodivergent suddenly makes his mannerisms make sense

2. Edward and Bella are actually perfect for each other bc they’re the same kind of weird overly co dependent and dramatic. They are the same flavor of mentally ill where they would be terrible for anyone else but they feed into each other and it weirdly works bc they’re both kinda terrible

3. Good disabled rep ??

4. Bella’s friend Jessica and her dad Charlie hold all the brain cells

5. WEIRDLY GOOD FIGHT SCENES

6. JESUS CHRIST WHY DOSE THE BABY LOOK LIKE THAT

7. Jacob was ok at first then turned into a temper tantrum baby who made he doesn’t get what he wants.

8. The glittering in the sun isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. Cringe is dead live ur shiny vampire life

9. Charlie deserves better

10. The sex scenes weren’t great but that could just be me.

11. EDWARD. SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS FUCK OFF

12. Edward please bang ur new wife you where literally the only one upset about the bruises

13. Pregnancy plot lines in romances still make me go hhhhhhhhh

14. The first movie was arguably the best but looked the worst visually. Everyone was so pail Bella might as well already been a vampire.

15. Emmet is best Cullen

16. making jasper a confederate soldier sure was a choice that was made. Stephanie he never saw combat. You could have just made him a cowboy and the visuals would have been the same.

17. The Voltaire are legit good villains acting wise

18. Renesmee is not that bad of a name

More points I have

19. Alice should be bi

20. The wolf cgi was solid

21. OH GOD WTF WAS THE BIRTH SCENE WHYYYYYYYY. TERRIBLE.

22. Charlie is the best character

23. BELLA BE NICER TO UR DAD. IT TAKES LIKE THREE (4?) MOVIES TO GET AN “I love you dad” OUT OF YOU YOU CLEARLY CARE ABOUT HIM

24. If the weird “I would die for you” thing had been turned down the romance would have been better.

25. My partner said Edward suffers from meyers Mormonism/ Mormonism type beliefs and their right.

26. the pregnancy stuff only cemented how much I don’t understand why people get pregnant. Maybe it’s a non binary thing.

PSA: The Quileute Tribe are a real group of native people living in La Push, Washington. Meyers did 100% appropriate their culture and name. My friend and I took a moment to recognize that before watching.

@duskwolf​ for a (on ice) starter.

"Somehow we need to persuade him to part with a million dollars." She makes it sound so easy, asking an investor to drop that kind of cash into the rink to fit it for upgrades and make it Olympic level. “That’s just to upgrade the physical rink and boards, not counting the rest of the building.” She looks stressed and Jacob was the first person near when her explosion happened. It seems to come to a realization for her. “Why am I telling you all of this?”

i don’t know why this is so funny to me seeing this in a news article

[roseategales]

this is gonna sound cynical, and i am prepared to eat crow for it, but i don’t think midnight sun is going to do as well critically as the first four books......... and that’s going to impact it commercially and in fandom 

it’s a different landscape than the early 2000s. most of us, the target demographic at the time, who loved the series, have grown up (and probably read better books, lbr.) so while i expect it to earn steph meyer another fortune just bc of nostalgia and the interest surrounding it.......... i also expect it to flop in some ways.
